Configuring the Forwarding-Delay Time for a Bridge Group

Configuring the Forwarding-Delay Time for a Bridge Group

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the forwarding-delay time for a
bridge group:

forward-time seconds
Step 3
Router(config)# end
To return the switch to its default setting, use the no bridge bridge-group-number forward-time seconds
command.

Configuring the Maximum-Aging Time for a Bridge Group

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the maximum-aging time for a
bridge group:
Command
Step 1
Router# configure terminal
Step 2
Router(config)# bridge
bridge-group-number max-age
seconds
Step 3

6-20
Purpose
Enters global configuration mode.
Configures the forward time of a VLAN. The forward delay is the
number of seconds a port waits before changing from its

For seconds, the range is 4 to 200; the default is 15.
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Purpose
Enters global configuration mode.
Configures the maximum-aging time of a bridge group. The
maximum-aging time is the number of seconds a switch waits
without receiving spanning-tree configuration messages before
attempting a reconfiguration.
For seconds, the range is 6 to 200; the default is 20.
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Commands for Displaying Spanning-Tree Status
Purpose
Displays STP or RSTP information on active interfaces only.
Displays a detailed summary of interface information.
